Last:
Eventually, they made it to Totosai's home. They knew the old demon would be shocked to see his old friend, but the reaction they got was not what they were expecting.
Now:
As they approached the giant skeleton that Totosai calls home, Touga feels an all too familiar itch on the tip of his nose and an all too familiar squeaky voice. Within seconds, Myoga became visible on the bridge of Touga's nose.
"I'd know that blood anywhere! Master, you've returned!" Myoga squealed. Then...splat. A flattened Myoga drifts down like a piece of paper onto Touga's palm before popping back to normal and hugged his friend's thumb. Just then, Totosai walked out and was about to ask what was going on out there when he too saw his old friend and master. Then...anime drop.
"Touga-sama, how have you returned?!" asked Myoga and Totosai in unison. After a brief explanation of his return, they got down to business.
"Now, the reason we're here is because I need a new sword." Touga said to the old swordsmith.
"What powers did you have in mind?" Totosai asked.
"The Dragon Twister, resurrecting the dead, absorbing youki and whatever else you can think of." Touga answered.
"Got it. Open wide" Totosai said as he pulled out a pair of pliers from who knows where, but before he could use them, Touga already pulled out his fang.
"Nice try old friend, but you won't be pulling any teeth today." Touga laughed.
"Oh sure, ruin my fun. One of these days, I'm going to use these on you, count on it." he said, clamping the pliers down for emphasis before putting them back.
"Gross! You put that in my mouth! Eww, I hope I don't die." Inuyasha yelled and punched Totosai in the head.
"Inuyasha, that was years ago. Get over it." Kagome said.
"What are you talking about?" Touga asked after handing Totosai his fang, suddenly very curious.
"During our hunt for Naraku, one of his incarnations broke Tetsusaiga. When Totosai found out, he started crying his big eyes out." Kagome paused and laughed remembering the swordsmith's reaction before continuing. "He said he would fix it, but required one of Inuyasha's fangs. When Totosai pulled the fang out, the look on Inuyasha's face was priceless and by the end of the visit, Totosai had some pretty big bumps on his head." Kagome finished. By now, Touga was trying to hold back his laughter, while the rest of the Inutachi minus Inuyasha were also trying but failing miserably to hold back their laughter.
For the next couple hours, they told Touga ALL about what a baka Inuyasha is. By the time they were done, even Sesshomaru was laughing so hard he has tears flowing from his eyes and Inuyasha's face was redder than his Robe of the Fire Rat.
The "So, Totosai, how long until my new sword is done?" Touga asked when he was finally able to speak clearly.
"Well, the powers you asked for might make it take longer than usual. I'd say about a week." said the old demon.
"WHAT!" Inuyasha screamed so loud that all the demons had to cover their ears. He stomped over to Totosai and was about to grab him by the front of his horai when his father and Kagome stepped in.
Touga separated his youngest from the swordsmith and gave him an evil grin that could only mean trouble for the young hanyou. "Kagome, would you mind saying that word?"
Kagome could only share Touga's evil grin as she turned sparkling blue eyes on Inuyasha. "Osuwari!" With that, the inuhanyou was slammed down into the dirt, leaving a small Inuyasha-shaped crater in the ground. Everyone laughed, including Shiori as she simply helped her boyfriend back to his feet.
"You should have known that would have happened, Inu." she giggled when he shot her an annoyed glare. All it took for him to get over his anger was a light touch to the cheek with her lips and her batting her eyelashes at him cutely.
Totosai cleared his throat, "There is a way for Touga-sama's sword to be ready in two days instead of a week." His bulging eyes twinkled mischievously as his hands moved behind his back, hiding the large pliers. "Inuyasha, Sesshomaru, would you two come here please?"
Inuyasha, who was distracted by Shiori walked over to the old youkai, unknowing of the threat to his being smirking slyly. Sesshomaru, who was bit more wary, moved elegantly over to Totosai, his hand already balled up into a fist. The old swordsmith asked for them to relax; he was not going to hurt them...And then with the quickest reflexes only the cowardly demon could possess, he snatched a fang from both brothers.
Touga laughed loudly at the dumbfounded looks on his pups' faces as tears began to well up in the corners of their eyes. It would seem that they were not prepared for Totosai ripping a canine fang from their mouths, especially Sesshomaru. His eldest son was glaring murder at the old swordsmith and Touga believe that him being there was the only reason why Sesshomaru had not ripped Totosai's head off. Inuyasha was another story though.
"Dammit, you old bastard!" The inuhanyou whined as he placed his hand over his pain riddled mouth. "What the hell was that for!" His face turned green as he remembered that those very pliers were coated with Totosai's saliva not too long ago and he quickly ran out of the cave to empty to contents of his stomach. When he finished, he walked back over to Totosai and Sesshomaru.
Sesshomaru clenched his fist even tighter, trying to restrain himself from killing the old demon for daring to put those filthy pliers near his precious fangs. "I presume that you needed mine and Inuyasha's fangs to further the process of Father's sword." he said with venom in every word. Both he and Inuyasha were glaring at him with a look that said 'Lucky bastard.' then an idea struck them and their glares turned into smirks.
"Yes, with your fangs, it should be done in two days." Totosai said, ignoring the looks the inu brothers were giving him. He knew that they wouldn't kill him with Touga around. But he forgot that the inu brothers didn't give up easily. The rest of the Inutachi were a few feet away, enjoying the show, and they were in for a big surprise, one they will never forget.
Suddenly, the brothers were a bit too close for Totosai's comfort. Inuyasha was the one to speak up first. "You'll pay for that ya old geezer. We may not be able to kill you with him around…" Inuyasha started, pointing his thumb over his shoulder at his father before continuing "…but that doesn't mean we can't pound ya for yanking out our fangs." he finished, with an evil look in his eyes.
Sesshomaru cracked his knuckles, allowing himself to stoop down to his incompetent brother's level just this once. The old fire demon took one of his precious fangs without his permission and punishment should follow. So the inu brothers did just that, striking the old youkai with hard blows all around his thin, frail body. Touga simply watched on with an amused smile on his face as he asked Kagome if she would pour him a cup of tea. Shippo and Rin giggled before engaging in a game of Jan-ken-pon. Sango pretended like she did not see anything as she and Miroku polished their weapons. Shiori merely shook her head as she witnessed her boyfriend give Totosai and decent sized black-eye.
A few hours later, Touga decided it was time for lunch, much to Totosai's relief and the inu brothers' disappointment. By this time, Totosai had quite a few bumps on his head, sore bruises littering his body, and both eyes were black while one was swollen shut. What shocked everyone was that Sesshomaru would do something so Inuyasha-like. Inuyasha was known for his childish behavior, but they never expected this from Sesshomaru. When asked, the younger daiyoukai simply replied that the fire demon needed to be punished for daring to put something that touched Inuyasha's mouth near his precious fangs.
Soo sorry for the long wait. We've been busy lately and my computer needs to be fixed and I don't know how oong that will take, so updates might not be as frequent as usual.
